  23 <para>This package is known to behave badly when you have changed its default
  24 optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options). Therefore, if you
  25 have defined any environment variables that override default optimizations,
  26 such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, we recommend unsetting them when building
  27 Grub.</para>

  29 <para>First fix a compilation problem with GCC-3.3.2:</para>

  33 <para>Now prepare Grub for compilation:</para>
  34
  35 <screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr</userinput></screen>
  36
  37 <para>Compile the package:</para>
  38
  39 <screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>
  40
  41 <para>And install it:</para>
  42
  43 <screen><userinput>make install
  44 mkdir /boot/grub
  45 cp /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage{1,2} /boot/grub</userinput></screen>

  47 <para>Replace <filename class="directory">i386-pc</filename> with whatever
  48 directory is appropriate for your hardware.</para>
  49
  50 <para>The <filename class="directory">i386-pc</filename> directory also
  51 contains a number of <filename>*stage1_5</filename> files, different ones
  52 for different filesystems. Have a look at the ones available and copy the
  53 appropriate ones to the <filename class="directory">/boot/grub</filename>
  54 directory. Most people will copy the <filename>e2fs_stage1_5</filename>
  55 and/or <filename>reiserfs_stage1_5</filename> files.</para>
